Developmental disabilities related education, technical assistance, and research activities in developing nations.

Few resources are available to identify principles, benefits, and pitfalls concerning international exchanges among professionals in the developmental disabilities field. In the present paper different models for international activities in mental retardation and developmental disabilities were described. Several principles were articulated that characterize successful international programs. These principles were illustrated in a descriptive case study of an international exchange and technical assistance project conducted between a University Affiliated Program and a developing nation.

Veterinary public health activities at FAO: echinococcosis/hydatid disease.

Cystic hydatidosis is a zoonotic disease that remain as a significant cause of human morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world. The disease has veterinary public health implications. FAO is involved with some activities in the control of echinococcosis/hydatid disease: within the Animal Production and Health Division the Veterinary Public Health (VHP) Programme is constituted by members of the different Services (Animal Health, Animal Production, and Livestock Policy) within the Division. FAO regular programme has also established a global network of professionals directly involved in VPH. Furthermore FAO's Technical Cooperation Projects (TCP) is a tool to assist member countries in responding to urgent and unforeseen demands.

[Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory at the Ruder Bosković Institute, Zagreb].

The Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory at the Ruder Bosković Institute (SSDL), Zagreb, Croatia, was set up over the last few years with a strong support by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) through the Technical Cooperation Project CRO/1/004, Establishing Calibration Services. The SSDL occupies two calibration rooms, each 9.6 m long and 6 m wide and each with proper air conditioning. Their walls are concrete and 1 m thick, and the entrance doors are plated with lead to protect the control rooms and the surroundings against radiation. In the first calibration room in the basement, there are two sealed sources which share the same, 6 m long calibration bench. A 30 TBq 60Co source on one side of the bench is used for calibrating ionising chambers and other high-dose radiation equipment. The irradiation unit on the other side of the bench combines two sealed sources, that is, a 740 MBq 137Cs source and a 185 MBq 60Co source, and is used for radiation protection purposes. It has three attenuators with nominal attenuations of x10, x100, and x1000. The second calibration room, which is just above the first, accommodates an X-ray unit (ISOVOLT 420, 40 kV to 300 kV, 1 mA to 20 mA) with a 5 m long calibration bench, aperture wheel assembly designed to modify the X-ray beam diameter to meet various configuration requirements for calibration instruments, a set of filter assemblies to control beam definition according to ISO 4037-3, and a half-value layer kit.

The OIE world animal disease information system.

The priority task of international collection and dissemination of information concerning diseases of animals by the OIE has three purposes: to alert countries threatened by an epizootic, to strengthen international cooperation on the control of animal diseases, and to facilitate international trade in animals and animal products. In order to improve the quantity and quality of information received, the OIE has organised seminars on the reporting of diseases of animals in most regions of the world. The authors show that these seminars have had very positive results. To achieve further progress, it is indispensable for every country to have a truly operational national system for animal health surveillance. Consequently, some technical assistance projects have been undertaken, beginning with Asia and Oceania, to examine the difficulties encountered by certain countries and to propose solutions. Activities of the various specialist commissions of the OIE have also led to improvement in the quality of information, particularly by defining, with greater precision, the concepts currently employed in connexion with diseases of animals (e.g. infection, disease, infected zone), and by standardising methods of diagnosis and of the preparation of biological products for veterinary use. Finally, a concise account is given of the development at the OIE Headquarters of an animal disease database, its mode of operation and various improvements which could be introduced to better satisfy the needs of Member Countries.
